As you say Tim, not a surprise at all.

In fact, I would say that when ANY govt. gives itself the power to infringe on people's rights like this, abuses are guaranteed.

The trick is to ensure that they don't take the rights away in the first place - under ANY circumstances.

Another good thing to keep in mind, which a girl learns when she has 'mashers' or 'breathers' - buy a whistle.

Blow it right into the phone as hard as you can. They will either come over and kill you or they won't call back.

THIS ONE IS FOR YOU NSA: SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

click.

So Pat, what you are saying is pre-arrange with people you call to hold the phone away from their ear for 10 seconds while you send the guy monitoring the call an eardrum shattering blast? LOL. I like that idea. Enough gov agents with sudden hearing loss would sure take the guess work out of investigations.
Hahahahahaha.

LOL -- Yes it is - and I am every bit sick and twisted enough to come up with that one - but this time Pat gets the credit. I just elaborated on her post.

You want a Sal original and some day I will tell you the story about the guy who was stalking me and the lamp cord I stripped down, LOL... absolutely shocking story. Hahahahahahahaha.

You beccha, Pat - actually my demented scheme was more on the likes of having millions of Americans sending emails and making phone calls all at the same time and using phrases with words that would trigger equipment that cues the watchers - and we watch instead --- as the systems melt. Can you imagine 4 million people all sending emails in unison with the phrase "wow, that's the bomb" in them? LOL. sizzlesizzlesmokescreech. Hahahahahahahahaha.

I used to have a contract at US west to do the research for a couple of business cases - ISDN and X boxes (yeah, I'm old - it was about 1987 or so). I was able to go into their strategic marketing library, which was off limits to most people, including most employees. What's going on now isn't new - just not under the blankets any more. I used to have a code that I could dial from my house to see if my line was on tap before I made any calls. The only difference is now that it is legal.

I just wonder exactly how much we spend a year to find out about George's gout or Aunt Matilda's fight with cousin Jenny, etc.

Great minds think alike Sal - been there with electric cord defenses of my own.

However knowing me if it was ever triggered I would be toast.

I don't know about a DOS attack - I think the dues would be pretty heavy just for a cheap thrill! lol. maybe not.

i met this guy who told me about some ex that was calling him too much and hanging up. So, he fixed it so that his computer would call this person every 5 minutes starting at 8pm every night - maybe 100 times.

I just thought this was so hilarious. A few months later the programmer at my job got fired and he sabotaged some databases that I inherited. what a nightmare.

So I was so pissed at him that I rigged my modem to call him every 5 minutes. The problem was he remembered me telling him the story about my friend. DUH! ...and I could hear is voice through my computer going Pat Brucoli? stop this right now!

kinda like the watchdog that shows the burglar where the fine silver is? i would make such a bad crook.
lol

One thing that is (a) totally unrelated to what we are talking about and (b) probably petty, but really bugs me, is that when someone says "you are the bomb":

It is actually 'balm' - soothing and healing- i guess it got screwed up with 'bombshell' somehow.

shes really a bombshell
man, i got bombed last night
i am going to get bombed tonight
you are the balm

capiche?

Thanks

Where I came from it was "the bomb", Pat. That was back when the bomb was still big controversy and it simply meant "the big one - the ultimate". I someone said you were the bomb, it meant best. In fact that saying is back now - retro kewl, man.
